About this tour
Trade the shoreline for a first taste of surfing with a local instructor on Folly Beach. This 90-minute lesson pairs professional guidance with surf equipment, helping you learn the skills behind catching a wave rather than simply giving surfing a try.
Meet at Ocean Street Public Beach Access on Folly Beach. Depending on weather and availability, the lesson may instead take place at Isle of Palms or Kiawah Island. With hands-on instruction, you can build confidence and work toward riding the waves, whether you are new to the sport or looking to improve your technique. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness; the lesson is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with poor cardiovascular health.
Book a Folly Beach surf lesson and discover the thrill of getting out on the water with local guidance.

How this score is calculated
This tour scores 5.00 on Viator and 4.80 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.
How the score works and rating distribution in Folly Beach
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.4.
